If you are running Windows XP and your computer isn't part of a domain i.e. running as a workgroup computer or stand alone then you can configure Windows XP to automatically login to Windows without putting a password in or going to the welcome screen.
1. Click Start, click Run, and type control userpasswords2.
2. Clear the Users must enter a username and password to use this computer check box.
3. Click Apply.
4. Enter the user name and password you wish to automatically log on with, and then click OK.
5. Click OK again and you're all done.
This feature allows you to start Windows without having to enter your password or click on your profile icon on the welcome screen, this also allows other users to start your computer and use the account that you establish to automatically log on. Enabling auto logon makes the computer more convenient to use, but can also pose a security risk.
